Message from Nurse, Lynn Reasons
Just wanted to send out a reminder to please keep your student home and contact their physician by phone if they're exhibiting any covid related symptoms (fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, new loss of taste or smell, runny nose or congestion, or if they've had close contact to a person with COVID-19 in the past 14 days).
If your child is tested for COVID-19 and receives a negative result, we ask that results be faxed to us at school at (573)455-9884 or be hand delivered to the front office upon their return. If your child sees their physician in person or virtually and the physician gives you guidance on when they're able to return to school, please remember to send in that documentation as well.
The health department also reports that if you, your child, or anyone else living in the home gets tested for COVID-19, everyone who resides in the home should quarantine until you receive the result.
See the "Health" tab for Fatima's sick policy regarding illness this year during the COVID-19 pandemic and please remember to keep your child home if they have symptoms. Thank you for helping to keep our Fatima students and staff healthy so we can prevent the spread of illness and have a great year at school.
